  next:letter #7- mail from the next:land of organizing  

Hi there!

next:letter #7 is from the Design Thinking Valley. Populated only `15 years — a generation — since David Kelley had his epiphany to stop calling Ideo’s approach “design” and start branding it as “design thinking". And much has changed in that time.´ It has become a global movement of a new way of thinking - and it only just begun. Follow us into the Valley and be inspired from what else is going on in the next:land of organizing.

- "Design thinking is one of the most important ideas of the 21st century", writes Steve Vassallo in his latest article Design Thinking needs to think bigger (FastCoDesign).  The methodology’s impact, Vassallo points out, on product design, how organizations go about solving problems, and how we live our everyday lives has been profound. And its influence has expanded far beyond business and design circles. Universities, nonprofits, even science labs run design sprints based on design-thinking principles:

- The most popular course (NYTimes) at Stanford is one on how to approach your life as a design challenge.

- The concept is even taught at elementary schools..." (FastCompany)

- Hughe corporate giants like IBM are bringing Design Thinking to big business (Wired). Check out IBM´s Design Thinking strategy HERE.

- More and more start-ups are going to combine Design Thinking with agile practices.

- And Here´s How The 100 Most Innovative Companies Adapt And Respond To Change - the results of a study by our partners Corporate Rebels!

- We love to work with the ideas and methods from the brilliant and bestselling Digital Innovation Playbook by our dear friends from Dark Horse Innovation.

- And here is another great toolbox: the Design Thinking Playbook - an incredible treasure of materials, methods and beyond. A perfect overview for beginners and full of inspiration for advanced design thinkers.

Unter WE PROVIDE stellen wir auf unserer Homepage Materialien für Holacracy zur Verfügung.

- Understanding organizations as cities... You know already that we love this idea - inspired by Edward Gleasers The Triumpf of the City. Now there is a new article showing that organizations as living systems cannot be reduced to org-charts and processes. Simple but striking! Read the story here: A Tale of Two Cities.

- And here are some good insights from Holacracy: 7 Ways Leaders can Future-Proof Their Business in a fast changing world. Or in other words: Being the boss is tough, isn’t it?
